The Southern Aroostook Agricultural Museum, previously the Pastime Museum, exhibits the history of farming in the area, mostly through 20th century farming implements, tools, and vehicles. The collection was started by Cedric and Emily Shaw and grew with the many additions from individuals' contributions.
The Museum is a member of the Maine Tourism Bureau and the Houlton Chamber of Commerce. The Museum hosts events such as public dinners and an annual car show. The aim of the organization is to collect and preserve "The Heritage of the County."
